Abstract

A foil sensor mat includes a plurality of active regions which are interconnected by flexible connection lines. The sensor mat further includes two substantially elastic foil layers arranged at a certain distance from one another by a spacer. The spacer has a plurality recesses and each of the active regions are arranged in one of the recesses of the spacer. The foil sensor also includes an additional flexible protective covering of a waterproof material.
